[Sshguard-users] ssh-guard blocking ansible connections

[Eric C. <er...@cr...>]

Hi folks,

I'm new to ssh-guard and just installed in one of my servers to try it out.
The problem I'm facing is that I use an automation tool (ansible) for
server setup and maintenance that works on top of ssh and therefore it does
open multiple ssh connections in short period of time, which seems to be
triggering ssh-guard alarms.

Since all those connections are properly authenticated (using key pairs)
shouldn't ssh-guard not block them?

Is it possible, apart from disabling ssh-guard during maintenance, to
somehow whitelist my ip address?

Thanks in advance for any help,
